Event Details
Undergraduate business students are frequently thought of as being career focused and outcome driven to the detriment of their development as independent learners.
Much of the research in this area looks at how we can support students to become good, successful, independent learners. However, I argue that the idealised norm of the good student, who is independent in their learning and whose engagement and success is measurable, is unrealistic and therefore problematic. This has implications for policy, practice and research.
